Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd, the Singapore based subsidiary of Phoenix Solar AG (Sulzemoos, Germany), an international photovoltaic system integrator, has been awarded the construction of 1.96 MWp of rooftop PV systems at the Tuas and Gali Batu train depots in Singapore.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is responsible for planning and development of Singapore’s land transport infrastructure. Achieving cleaner and greener transport is one of its priorities, as well as reducing the environmental impact of its business activities. Generating clean electricity for train depot operations is a significant step in the right direction.
In August 2014, LTA called for a competitive tender to design, supply and install 1.96 MWp of grid-tied PV capacity on two new train depots – Tuas and Gali Batu. The project was awarded to Phoenix Solar after evaluating tenderers according to their quality proposals as well as pricing.
PV plant to generate over 2.2 million kWh of solar power annually
Upon completion, the PV system, consisting of 7,536 REC solar PV modules and 4 central inverters from SMA, are expected to generate over 2.2 million kWh of solar power annually. As part
of the contract, Phoenix Solar will also perform O&M (operations and maintenance) and monitor the performance of the PV system for an initial period of one year.
“Looking ahead, we expect PV to cover more industrial depots, warehouses, schools and government facilities,” said Christophe Inglin, Managing Director of Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd.
“The installations will not only provide environmental benefits but also commercial returns, as PV today is a commercially viable complement to conventional energy in Singapore,” continued Inglin.
With the addition of the two LTA PV systems, Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd boasts 8 rooftop installations in the MW range, bringing its rooftop portfolio to over 19 MWp, many of them award-winning projects.
“This new high-profile project underscores the strong positioning of Phoenix Solar in South East Asia,” comments Tim P. Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Solar AG.
